Judy Garland, 43, is about to take a fourth husband for the third time. Or maybe it is the first time. In June 1964, she announced in Hong Kong that she had been married twice-once by a ship's captain, once by a Buddhist priest-to longtime Traveling Companion Mark Herron. Then she said no, she hadn't at all, when it turned out that her marriage to Hollywood Producer Sid Luft had not been dissolved. The Dissolution came in May, and as she opened a concert series last week at the Circle Star Theater...
...themselves the Hué intellectuals are a small voice in Viet Nam, but 14 labor leaders sat in on their seminars, and the tone of their manifesto was strangely reminiscent of Thich Tri Quang, leader of Viet Nam's militant Buddhist mobs, who by coincidence was in Hué for a rally of his own. Taking no chances, Ky softened the draft. The army would exempt intellectuals holding "important" positions, announced Defense Minister Nguyen Huu Co, and would give many others only a quick training course and return them to their desks-in uniform...

With sleeves rolled up and sweat rolling down, the students are building privies, schools and roads in 18 Vietnamese provinces...
...subversion. His personal Ho Chi Minh trail has led him through the widest range of revolutionary activity experienced by any living Red leader. En route, he shed identities like snakeskins, metamorphosing from cabin boy to pastry cook, from poet to guerrilla leader, from Parisian photo retoucher to pseudo-Buddhist monk. His name-changes alone would fill an address book (some 20 have been pinned down, ranging from Nguyen "the Victorious" to "Old Chap" Wang). But beneath the chimeric legend lies a purposeful, pragmatic Communist whose aim is the conquest of all Southeast Asia...
...Liberal Democrats had lost only four seats-nowhere near enough to shake their commanding majority in the Diet's 250-member House of Councilors. Even so, the results were bad medicine for the government. The powerful Socialist Party made significant gains, as did the Soka Gakkai, a militant Buddhist organization whose Komeito (Clean Government) party emerged as a major political force by preaching pacifism, reform and anti-U.S. nationalism. In scandal-rocked Tokyo, government candidates could not win a single seat...
